Cafe Su Da at any Vietnamese resturant rocks my boat - try to make it at home with the same stuff they use and it's never quite as good - not sure why - thought maybe it's the pretty waitresses but my wife's easily their equal. Of course she doesn't SERVE me the coffee, I have to get it myself - maybe THAT'S the difference! laugh.gif

I gues that it's the same as when you spend hours cooking your favourite meal and then you don't want to eat it. When served in a
restaurant by 'a pretty waitress' it tastes much better.

Weird huh?

Oh! I do the cooking and my pretty wife brings it to the tablem >:<?:>>@/

She just pulled me off the computer again! sad.gif

But the big question that nobody has asked,"Who likes Marmite" or "Bovril".

The second one is not to bad but "Marmite"!,you must have had your taste buds removed if you like that.

For all the readers who do not know what we mean,Bovril is drink that has a very beefy taste to it,it is an acquired taste,you either like or you don't.

But marmite you spread on toast,or just bread,but the taste is indescribable,well i wont tell you what i think it tastes like. puking2.gif

If you have the ability to describe "Marmite" for the people who have never heared of it,please reply,but keep it clean. yucky.gif

I have a jar in the pantry, been there 6 years at least. It was a joke stocking stuffer one Christmas (my stocking) after we saw the episode of "Mr. Bean" where he used it on pretzel sticks and twigs at his party. I'm not brave enough to try it, especially now that it's so old.

It doesn't go off. Too much salt to go mouldy. My wife loves Marmite. She eats it off of a spoon from the jar. Can be really good for gravy as well. Many a time we have run out of a vital seasoning ingredient and resorted to the old faithfull jar of Marmite as a substitue. Don't eat too much of it personally, but it is a damn useful thing to have in the cupboard.

P.s. it is great as a mosquito repellant. You have to eat it rather than put it on your skin. Otherwise it would be good as a fake tan! Eat it regularly and the mozzies won't touch you. If my wife eats lots of it, I wont touch her either!!! laugh.gif

Fish,

You have to tell your wife to quit taking you away from the computer - your posts are about the funniest things I've read in a long time! laugh.gif

Waht's in this marmite stuff?

G52

Per the jar:

INGREDIENTS:
Yeast Extract
Salt
Vegetable Extract
Niacin
Thiamin
Spice Extracts
Riboflavin
Folic Acid
Celery Extract
Vitamin B12

Isn't that tempting?

Yum. Amazing what I've been missing all these years! It is, BTW, those B vitamins that keep the skeeters away - can't recall which one exactly, though.

They make this stuff out of the slurry from the bottom of the beer brewing tanks.

I heard somewhere that in prisons they use it as a catalyst for making hooch out of rotten fruit and bleach. An old friend of mine who worked for the prison service actually tried some and said it was pretty good. The hooch that is, not the Marmite!

Marmite tastes a bit like concentrated boullion.. or if you distilled some Bragg's liquid aminos seasoning into a paste...
Intense flavor.

The only way I like coffe is Chocolate covered Coffee Beans. I can eat them until I shake too much to grab them any more, which isn't good with my high blood pressure. wub.gif

Just helping my wife out the kitchen,and looking out the window at the garden,i looked at the shed and wondered if "Marmite" can be used instead of bitumen,just in case the roof is leaking. thumbup.gif

Or as an under seal for the car.

Its all getting a bit silly now! and the ladies who participate on this forum are probably thinking that this is so much like men to be talking a load of drivel "but who cares rolleyes.gif
